Rogue Brewery Upset at Palin for co-opting "Rogue"

[Taverner]

OCTOBER 5, 2009

RE: “Going Rogue: An American life” by Sarah Palin

We make beer not politics, we did not publish the Tome –Harpers did.

Ms. Palin did not seek the Rogue Nation approval for her use of ROGUE; she is not currently a Rogue Nation citizen. The official writer of the Rogue Nation is Richard Marcinko, author of the Rogue Warrior books; Red Cell, The Real Team, Echo Platoon, Lone Survivor, Holy Terror, Designation, Seal Force, Task Force Blue, Inside Delta Force, Detachment Bravo, Vengeance, The Warrior Elite, Violence of Action, Dictator’s Ransom and Option Delta. At this time we have no plans on replacing him.

We are proceding on 2 tracks:

1. The matter has been referred to Brian Schweppenheiser, the Attorney General for the Rogue Nation.
2. Led by Captain Sig Hansen of the Deadliest Catch and the Newport fishermen who ply the Alaskan waters, we are investigating where she was born and other issues of character.

P.S. We also didn’t give permission to Samsung to use ROGUE on their new phone, or to STM for use with their new laptop backpack or to Nissan to use ROGUE on their new car!

1. Treating her with all the seriousness she deserves

Major media outlets, are you taking notes? Apparently not, since this is from two months ago. Would that they had.

[Cant trust em]

2. Food there is pretty good.

Beer isn't bad either.

[Taverner]

3. There's one in SF too

Yum!

[Cant trust em]

6. That's the one I've been to.

[Taverner]

10. If you ever get up to Newport, OR go see that one

It's where it all began - and the clam chowder (from Mo's) is excellent

[Cant trust em]

11. I love clam chowder, but the more I eat it, the more I realize how simple it is

I was in New England a couple of weeks ago. I ate about a gallon or so from different places between Boston and Bar Harbor. As much as I love it, it's not going to blow you away compared to some things.

[Taverner]

12. Hmmmm you haven't had some mind blowing Chowder lately, have you?

I felt the same way

Then I went to Boston for a week

And after that Seattle

Both cities are great Clam Chowder Cities

[Cant trust em]

13. Best I've had recently is at the Splash Cafe in San Luis Obispo.

Not too shabby.

[Taverner]

14. Never had it - but I will...

Pikes Market in Seattle has this Smoked Salmon and Clam Chowder that's mind blowing

[Cant trust em]

16. I've been there.

The best thing at Pike's Place though is the fresh fried donut holes.

When they pick the fried dough out of the vat, dump them into a paper bag, dump in a bunch of powdered sugar, shake the bag, then hand you the bag.

[Taverner]

17. Ahhhh yes....

I think I need to go to Seattle with the kids...

They (and I) would enjoy that

Kids got a big kick out of freshly dipped apples in caramel in Santa Cruz

[Bennyboy]

25. I was there not too long ago......((((((BUT six bucks for a beer?)))))))

They lost me. Last time i will ever go there I think. beautiful place, love Newport and it has always been a "Must Stop" in Oregon. but six bucks?



With my Son and a friend on our trip down the coast....

30. That's just a few feet from the docks where the seals lounge about.

When I was there, there were at least 50 seals competing, like musical chairs, for a spot to lay and get some sun.

[Oregone]

4. I love Rogue. Some of best beer in northwest

If in Newport, visit their brewery for good foods and samplers

[OnyxCollie]

18. I've seen Dead Guy Ale at the store.

Have you tried it? It looked interesting, but at $10.99 a six I didn't want to take a chance.

[Taverner]

23. Dead Guy is not their best

Get a bomber of Yellow Snow, American Amber or Brutal Bitter....

[Oregone]

28. Its their mai bock beer. Meant to please the most palettes, but not please some palettes the most

[rhett o rick]

20. Was there a couple of months ago. Good beer. Go Beavers. nt

[frylock]

22. san diego is the new portland..

you should make an effort to get down here and try some delicious Ballast Point.

[Taverner]

24. Yum - Ballast Point Sculpin!

Or Dorado!


I can just taste the cannabis in that beer now!

[frylock]

26. my two faves!!!

full of hoppy goodness!

[Taverner]

27. Oh yeah - and when fresh it's pure joy!

[Ken Burch]

5. Maybe they can start brewing "Arrogant Barbie Ale"

n/t.

[mike_c]

8. that's Stone Brewing, though....

I love their web portal:

To view the Arrogant Bastard Ale site, you must first agree to the following:

* I am of worthy stance in the jurisdiction from which I am accessing this page to access pages containing material of Full Frontal Arrogance.

* In consideration for the permission to view the Arrogant Bastard Ale pages, I indemnify the publisher, the service provider and the Stone Brewing Co. from any insults, insecurities, and ego damages incurred by the viewing or retrieving of such materials by me.

* I acknowledge that the material contained herein may be contrary to the multi-million dollar ad campaigns conducted by large brewing companies I may or may not have been fool enough to believe in the past.

* I am not a fizzy yellow beer drinking ninny here under false pretenses.

* I am at least 21 years of age.


I have read the above statements and I certify that I:

Accept | Do Not Accept

:rofl:

[Ken Burch]

9. Damn. I THOUGHT it was Rogue.

Maybe they could put out "She'll Make Levi A Dead Guy Ale".

[Taverner]

15. Stone's Arrogant Bastard is one of the best Ambers I've ever had

Totally in your face, and violating the rule of Amber Ales (they're supposed to be lightly sweet and mild. Arrogant Bastard isn't either of those - its really dry and strong)

[Oregone]

29. Rogue has I2PA.

:) Yummy

[Kahuna]

21. LOL! I have to nominate you for a DUzy for that one...

:)

[mike_c]

7. until Palin learns to make better beer than Rogue, I'd say this just about...

...puts the lid on any further political aspirations she might have. Thanks to ROGUE ALES for bringing some sense to this discussion!

[NRaleighLiberal]

19. Horrendous book. Awesome beer! Rogue's Chocolate Stout is our fave. Was hoping they would take

offense at the use of their name on the lamebrain's book.
